Social Media Erupting in Anger Over Trump’s Sickening Statement About Colin Powell’s Passing

By

We reported on Trump’s statement regarding Colin Powell this morning and we noted that even though every sentient global citizen had been in agreement that Trump long ago hit bottom, and yet he managed to find yet another means to step down another story. He basically slammed a guy while talking about himself the day after the passing of a great statesman, perhaps worse than John McCain.

To review Trump’s statement and get to reactions:

Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called WMD’s, be treated so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to slam other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace.

Right. But anyway, fck off.

Let’s just compare another loyal MAGA’s statement, just to sort of see what might’ve otherwise have been the MAGA standard. Here is Mike Pence:

Colin Powell was a true American Patriot who served our Nation with distinction in uniform, as a four-star general, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and as 65th Secretary of State. Karen and I are praying for his wife, Alma, and the entire Powell family.

Trump hates Powell primarily because the General wouldn’t support Trump, which means he didn’t support Pence, and yet Mike Pence manages to summon the minimum grace one would expect (and we mean minimum because even Pence’s statement isn’t anything special).

The nation may not have “loved” Powell because he didn’t seek “love.” His job was always about completing the mission and the nation had incredible respect for Powell, which ultimately led to a great deal of affection for the man, despite the fact that he followed orders at the U.N.

And thus it was that the nation unleashed a wave of anger that even we have rarely seen.

The statement was so awful that both Trump supporters and detractors had trouble believing it was real:

It is real:

No one on this staff. Why can’t mother nature be a bit more selective? The world would be a better place today.
